Hi

I am using image as a button, now in some cases I want to make this button(i.e. image) disabled and in some cases enabled. I am somehow not able to make that…I dont know what is the fuss over there, even the .enabled false is not working…Can anybody please suggest a way to do the same…

Please reply ASAP…as this is halting the progress of my workk…

Eagerly waiting…

Thanks  
Vicky

[quote=amarghosh;2352265]set mouseEnabled = false along with enabled = false;  
or u can use a Button without a label and make this image its icon; then u can use \*enabled \*alone;[/quote]  
Thanks for your suggestion…the first option didn’t work so I converted my image into a button…as being suggested by you…Thanks once again for such a quick response…
